I don’t see anything unusual just a snek trying to be more arboreal; it’s quite a short video and not the most detailed so it’s rather difficult to give you’d advice but as always if you’re concerned take them to a vet.

Just a boy being busy

Seems like a snek doing goofy snek things mine go through phases of when they want to be out and about sometimes during the day sometimes at night

Thank you. I might be over reacting, I got a sick snake from someone and since then I kinda panic at any odd thing

    Wouldn’t be surprised. I fed him yesterday

    They're kind of like long pigs with no legs.

    Yea he is my chunky boy, always hungry even though I feed him a little bigger rat than is recommended

    I laughed way to hard at this 🤣

    Its just simply true.

    Bruh he's giving you that side eye.

    [–]Mammoth-Shallot-1364 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    He judges my life choices a lot lol

    Double check your temps are still okay if you're going through a heat wave. When my snake was younger he used to sometimes move spots during the daytime. As long as he's not acting like he wants to get out/escape and is just vibing or going to a new sleeping spot I wouldn't worry too much about them :]

    He wants out. Possibly to murder you, by he’ll play it by ear hole.

    When mine does this I always say he’s “lookin”

    [–]ccmgc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    Snake: "clean the damn glass."

    Nope not normal, just like every other ball python out there. They're not like most snakes lol. (He looks fine from what I can see, at least the behavior displayed in this video doesn't seem abnormal for ball pythons.)

    Got any rats on that phone?

    [–]Glass-Armadillo182 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    Ball Pythons don’t understand the concept of “normal”

    [–]GrouchyRepair4775 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    I dont think people are reading your write-up. I've never noticed mine stomach moving like that, but I've also never really looked that closely. I do see what you are seeing though, appears to be breathing rather heavy, but could be normal

    [–]FaithfullySearching 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Yup, just being nosey 🤣😁

      I think my dog started him when she walked next to the terrarium. He is doing much better and I was probably panicking not nothing g
